Chapter 10- In Todd we trust
Monday Night Raw
After Jewel was able to smooth things over with Hunter and the abused bus, we turned our focus to the Wyatts. Todd didn't speak a word of his plan to anyone. All he asked of us was to trust him and bring Dad and the undertaker with us to the arena. It wasn't easy to sneak them in. In fact it was down right impossible. I was carrying dad on my shoulder. Jason had the Undertaker.
People stopped and stared at us as it all happened, but then they remembered, the last they have seen the brothers of destruction, they were in the hands of Bray Wyatt. We managed to get a locker room to ourselves and laid them on the ground. Todd looked them over before giving a nod of his head. "I need them on the ramp way when I confront Bray Wyatt." he said.
This, startled us. "They cannot help you, they can't fight. You are going to make them sitting ducks!" protested Roger.
"No, they need to be near by for what will happen tonight. Trust me." he said.
I nodded once more and told everyone else we have to trust Todd, after all, he's the one who has gotten us this far. Why doubt him now? Jason volunteered to help, as did I. So with that, we sat in wait of the Wyatts to make their move. Luckily for us, they are not the types to sit around to vent their frustration.
They went out in the middle of the show, taking hold of the ring and surrounding the arena in darkness. Bray Wyatt was upset to say the least.
"it is one thing to take from another. It is another to STEAL FROM ME!"
He looked dead into the camera. "Kaden. I know your secret. I know you are not alone in this world as you had the others believe. In fact, your brother Jason, isn't the only one. I had one of your kin in my possession, and you have the audacity to take from me without giving something back!"
"Now." Todd whispered.
We made our way to the ramp, I placed Dad on the left side, the Undertaker was laid on the right side of the stage. Todd then turned to us, placing a hand on Jason and my shoulder and smiled.
Once we left, the light on the ramp came on, and Todd stood in it. His arms outstretched like Bray Wyatt would do, but he didn't move. At least, not at first.
Bray Wyatt appeared rather interested since, after all, Todd has a long unkept beard and long hair like the Wyatt family.
Todd reached down and picked a microphone from the ramp. "You're right, Mr. Wyatt. Kaden isn't alone, he isn't an only child. But you need to understand, you do not take from my family. Especially my father. We already lost our mother, and we will not lose another due to circumstance."
Bray began to laugh. "Is that is? Are you trying to scare or threaten me boy? Do you know who I am? Do you know what I can do to you right now!"
Todd smiled. "Yes, in fact. I know who you are, but I know far more than you think I do. For example, that lantern you carry, that is the only thing in your possession that allows you to access the essence of my father and the Undertaker. Your body and mind are unable to handle the power!"
For the first time ever, I saw Bray Wyatt flinch. He was taken aback, but held the lantern a little tighter. He dropped to his knee to send the lighting down on my brother, but it backfired.
The lightning struck the corner of the ring, and made it burst into flames!
The fire then began to spread to the other corners of the ring, and then went out. It was happening, the power was going out of control!
Wyatt wasn't about to let his weakness be shown, so he did the next best thing. He turned to his family. "Take him down!" Bray ordered.
Stroman was the first to leave the ring and confront Todd. He stood ready, as the big man began to run up the ramp., I blinked and nearly missed it all. Somehow, Todd struck Stroman once, just once. Forcing Stroman to stop, drop to his knee and fall over and off the ramp.
Harper and Rowan then charged up the ramp. Only they too fell after a single blow.
Bray stood in the ring, confused to what became of his men. But then he began to shake with rage. "You want to confront me! So be it!" He dropped to his knee and sent down the lightning. This time it obeyed.
The only thing is, Todd caught it.
He caught the lightning and accumulated it in his grasp!
Wyatt didn't take kindly to the action and summoned the fire.
Todd caught it in his free hand!
How could he do this? How did he know he could do this?
Wyatt began to shake his head in disbelief, he raised the lantern and tried to summon the power once more.
Todd struck.
he was able to combine the lightning and fire, and stuck the glass of the lantern! It shattered in the hands of Bray Wyatt! He was knocked back and out, as the smoke began to fill the ring. Todd then closed his eyes, be must have started a chant that forced the smoke to move up the ramp. From there the lightning and fire in his hands began to condense down. He turned and struck dad and the Undertaker! The smoke cleared, dad and the Undertaker began to move once more, nearly sitting up, only to fall back down from the shock of the blow.
Jason and I rushed out and helped them backstage. Todd, I have no idea what he was doing out there, but he did it. His plan worked. Still, how on earth did he know it would work?
